Altay get ready to host Göztepe for another engaging Super Lig fixture here at Bornova Aziz Kocaoğlu Stadyumu.

Insights:
  • Göztepe have the most points from losing position (5) in Super Lig

This could be an exciting game with lots of fun and bustle as both participants are well renewed since they last ran out on the pitch. Get this show on the road!

This football pitch uses the playing surface grass, unlike Göztepe's home stadium. The previous 39 games by the guests on grass have resulted in 11 wins, 12 draws and 16 losses.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Altay form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Altay's two home games in the Super Lig so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Bornova Aziz Kocaoğlu Stadyumu.

Altay faced defeat in their previous match, away at Konyaspor (1-3). Midfielder César Pinares was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.64 (out of ten) in that game. Pinares served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 29 successful passes (of 32 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Fenerbahçe (0-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Altay perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Altay as a small favourite), we find eight games. Altay has won five of these, drawn two and lost one.

The manager M. Denizli will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Rizespor in only four days.

Early season league goal statistics from Altay's 2 home games: 3 goals, 2 conceded.

Göztepe form and stats

Göztepe are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Super Lig, having played 2 games and collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). Göztepe has drawn their two previous away games.

Göztepe are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Super Lig against Istanbul Basaksehir (placed 19th). Cherif Ndiaye, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.42. Ndiaye scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes. Goalkeeper İrfan Can Eğribayat was absolutely vital in the Göztepe victory against Istanbul Basaksehir, making seven saves. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager N. El Maestro when David Tijanič scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Yeni Malatyaspor.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Göztepe playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were one Göztepe win, six draws and six defeats.

3 goals so far away for Göztepe, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Previous two meetings featuring these contenders: Altay won zero, Göztepe triumphed in one and we saw one draw. two games with more than 2,5 goals, zero matches with under 2,5 goals.
